Installation thing... VS 2005 not found on 64 bit machine

Trying to reinstall the new version and getting VS 2005 showing in the prerequisites screen as not installed and it is. 64 bit XP is probably the issue (It is with most everything I try to do!) but need to know how to get around this during the installation.

Any hints? The previous version installed and ran fine.

Well, the problem is that you are running a 64-bit OS and our installation properly respects the 64-bit environment while VS2005 does not.  The problem is that VS2005 is writing all of the keys to the WOW6432Node key while the install recognizes a 64-bit OS and is not respecting that node.

At the moment there is no workaround per say....we are aware that there is an issue with 64-bit.  I appologize for any inconveniences, but we are working towards a valid solution.

Thanks...

Welcome to the x64 Troubles Team.

I had to downgrade to version 1.52 to keep working.
